Notes

Mycosphaerella pinodes forms stem, leaf, and pod lesions as well as causing a foot rot of peas. It can be of considerable importance in New Zealand in crops grown in the wetter areas. From a survey of New Zealand pea seed instituted in 1951 and carried over a five-year period, Cruickshank (1957a) concluded that M. pinodes was a common seed-borne pathogen on New Zealand seed. He stressed the importance of growing pea seed crops in low rainfall areas in order to keep pea crops throughout the country free of this disease.
